Overview

• Courtney Vandersloot, a two-time WNBA champion and five-time All-Star, is being courted by the Chicago Sky during free agency after her diminished role with the Liberty in the 2024 playoffs.
• The Sky recently released their leading scorer, Chennedy Carter, reportedly due to locker room issues and clashes with rookie stars Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso.
• Chicago has $923,625 in cap space, the third most in the league, but must fill five to six roster spots, making it a challenge to meet Vandersloot's competitive team expectations.
• Vandersloot has expressed a desire for a team that values her playmaking abilities and offers a significant role, which the Sky hope to provide despite their current rebuilding phase.
• Other WNBA teams, including the Golden State Valkyries, Seattle Storm, Minnesota Lynx, and Las Vegas Aces, are also potential destinations for Vandersloot, offering varying levels of fit and opportunity.
